* BabiesEverAfter: The series finale sees the birth of Walker and Alex's baby girl.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The [[DirtyCop dirty cops]] in the final season's "Deadly Situation" appear to the general public as dedicated officers working hard to crack down on drugs. In actuality; they attempt to frame a rookie officer, an aspiring Texas Ranger[[note]]who happens to be a descendant of legendary Texas Ranger Hayes Cooper, and therefore, a distant cousin of Walker's[[/note]], who was investigating corruption in the department on phony charges of stealing drug evidence and murdering his partner.

** An accountant and his family were placed in a witness protection program with Gage and Sydney when they are targeted by a crime lord. Gage and Sydney placed them in a house and laid out some important ground rules, most important above all else is NEVER use the phones as they can run the risk of getting traced. [[WhatAnIdiot Instead, the accountant's wife ignores that important rule so she could phone her mother and let her know they're all right, thinking a few seconds on the phone won't matter so much]]. The line gets traced by hitmen, and they attack the house. She nearly got her whole family killed for a stupid phone call.

* JuryAndWitnessTampering: Several episodes involve this, from murder to intimidation. One episode had a mob boss killing his own ''defense attorney'' and framing Alex for it, and another had Trent being stabbed by a federally-wanted assassin so he wouldn't be able to testify in court, and the only witness to that attack was a Special Olympian he was escorting to running practice.

* BerserkButton:
** Never threaten Alex or take her hostage with Walker around. He gets especially violent on the idiots who do. If you're a [[TooDumbToLive repeat offender]] of this, [[YouAreAlreadyDead consider it your last day among the living]].
** He also doesn't take kindly to racist crimes and those who would dare to hurt children.

** A lot of the villains of the week, especially the ones who have pressed Walker's BerserkButton. Special mentions to Larue, who was too StupidEvil to live as he pressed Walker's BerserkButton THREE TIMES. First two times, Walker brutally kicked his ass in. [[spoiler:The third time, Walker skips the ass-kicking entirely and simply shoots the [[AssholeVictim asshole dead]].]]

** In Season 5's "The Brotherhood", this is done by mistake to a DirtyCop while he attempted to snipe Walker during the final fight. The episode has Walker dealing with a pack of dirty cops killing off arrested people who got off on technicalities, having warned those cops their extremist and malicious actions would result in an innocent person being killed. This eventually happens to a friend's son after he was acquitted of a rape he didn't commit. As Walker dukes it out with one of the Sergeants of the department, another Sergeant who tried to snipe him accidentally shoots and kills his fellow officer, [[spoiler:at which point, he goes on to kill himself]].

** In Season 5's "The Brotherhood", this is done by mistake to a DirtyCop during the final fight. A group of cops were killing felons who got off on technicalities, and Walker warned them one of these days, their malicious actions would result in an innocent person being killed, and that innocent person was the son of a friend of Walker's cleared on rape charges. Walker would have made good on his promise to arrest all the officers involved for this, if he hadn't shot one of those cops himself out of self-defense, which then led up to the Sergeant suffering this outcome from one of his fellow officers [[spoiler:and the other Sergeant, who was responsible for the accidental shot, killing himself.]]
